The article contains PDF of building estimation handbook in which you will find detailed analysis on estimation, its uses and application on different members of the project.
The course is divided into different categories depending on the calculations of different members, sub structure and super structure.
The first chapter provide brief about quantity surveying and it's methods. It also showcase different topics you must know before doing quantity surveying. Also the list of items that needed to be calculated below ground level or substructure is available and the units in which all these quantities to be measured are mentioned. Similarly another list of items above ground level be provided.
Basic procedure during the execution of the work at site can be easily learnt in the article.
Structural members and their types are provided in detail with diagrams to easily understand e.g. footing and its types.
Similarly columns, beams, floors, loads their types and uses are mentioned in a detailed manner.
Different types of walls are also discussed along with diagrams and sketches.
Staircases along with their types, uses and estimation is available within the PDF.
One of the most important topic is different types of units and their conversion into other unit system is available with several examples to convert one dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional problems.
The major dealing of an estimated or quantity surveyor is with rate conversion. Rate conversion is available in the next section along with few examples.
Different geometric shapes and their calculations based on length area and volume will be present.
Estimation of footing, columns, beams and other structural members will be discussed along with examples.
Moving on from individual calculations are combined structural calculation example is solved to fully understand the mechanics of estimation.
Different project drawings including architectural, structural and reinforcement drawings will be provided.
This handbook is very helpful for the engineering students, quantity surveyors, estimators and beginners who are going to work in the construction field and want to learn different aspects of construction as anyone working in the construction field weather in execution or planning department or in design facility must know the basic of estimation and engineering calculations to overcome difference issues and problems arises during the duration of project.
